GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Small classes with teachers and staff always willing to help. The city has a great community and the school is the center of that community.

It's difficult to give a rating to such a diverse group of people. While there are a lot of dedicated, knowledgeable teachers that are a blessing to have in the classroom, there's still a couple that you just kind of look at and think, "I could probably teach this class better than you." Overall though, most teachers here seem like they enjoy coming to school and genuinely care about their students.

Favoritism is big in this school. The school lunches are bad and the teachers do not care about giving the students a fair education.
